When I first heard about this, I thought, "Kool... a movie about the Irish mob!!"
Maybe it'll take place in Boston around our old haunts!!
Then I kept seeing posters of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and thought,
"Damn, Martin... couldn't ya find any Irish actors?! Looks like a Goodfella's reunion
there!"
Watched it last night on Netflix. ahhhhhhh... Frank 'The Irishman' Sheeran!
Ok...get it now!
Enjoyed it!

Re: The Irishman
Seen it yesterday. Enjoyed every minute of the film and it's a 3h20 movie. Scorcese is a true great director and what a casting !!

Re: The Irishman
Finally got a chance to watch, liked it. The special effects were great but you got these guys with younger looking faces still moving like really old men. The scene of deniro giving the guy an ass beating on the street comes to mind.

And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?

Re: The Irishman
Watched it last night. Liked it, didn't love it. De Niro, Pesci, Pacino are all outstanding but I do find it interesting that De Niro and Pacino are portraying an Irishman and a German/Irish respectively while Keitel (Polish) is playing an Italian. (wouldn't be the first time - Keitel was an Italian in Scorsese's Mean Streets and De Niro was an Irishman in Goodfellas). What struck me was HOW old these actors actually are! De Niro is 76, Pesci is 76, Pacino is 79, and Keitel is 80! That considered, they all look pretty good for their age. I also noticed a certain physicality about the actor that portrayed singer Jerry Vale (at De Niro/Sheeran's testimonial dinner). Apparently, Mob guys loved Jerry Vale, and Scorsese has used his music in Goodfellas, Casino, and now The Irishman. Anyway, something seemed familiar about the actor playing the part. Turns out is none other than Little Stevie Van Zandt (The E Street Band and The Sopranos).
